Hello all.

On a 98SE machine I am trying to access a network printer that is hooked up
to an XP machine. File and printer sharing is enabled, of course. Both PCs
are on the MSHOME network. I can see both machines from the other one, and
can access shared folders both ways.

I have installed the (additional) 98SE drivers on the host (XP) PC. No
firewalls
are running. Yet when I go to the printer installation screen (on 98SE) the
printer
never shows up (although the PC name is visible).

It's been a while since I last used 98SE. Can someone point me in the right
direction, please?

Thanks,

Erik

On XP, check the printer's share name. If it's longer than 12
characters, 98SE won't be able to see it.
